Hopoate is now a boxer, and Quite a boxer by the sounds of the Herald article
" Myer revealed former heavyweight champion Dean Waters, who was ringside last night, was keen to come out of retirement to fight Hopoate but indicated an American opponent was now a much more attractive option for the former Manly destroyer. "
"
BRISBANE, Queensland - Former National Rugby League bad boy John Hopoate knocked out big Bob Mirovic for the Australian heavyweight boxing title with a broken right hand and a busted left shoulder.
Boxing enthusiasts were today hailing their brutal battle on the Gold Coast on Wednesday night as one of the greatest heavyweight fights in years.
While Hopoate broke his right hand, Mirovic suffered a broken right arm as the two big men traded thunderous blows.
Mirovic's trainer Jeff Fenech tossed in the towel in the ninth round as Hopoate unloaded a series of damaging haymakers to the 44-year-old champion's head."
Sounds like Hoppa is quite the destroyer...
I reckon hes wasted as a boxer, He should be an advocate for prostate health :P
